Critical Mass Friday for Skatepark Donations

Come to Critical Mass this Friday and support the creation of Huntington's first skate park!

Bring your bike, board, skates, scooter or unicycle for this fun, family-friendly and slow-paced six-mile bicycle ride through the city. The ride starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Ritter Park fountain.

Organizers and the Jewel City Rollergirls will be collecting donations toward the Tony Hawk Foundation challenge grant matching fund.

The challenge grant requires the community to raise $5,000 for the skate park before the end of July. Once the money is raised, the Tony Hawk Foundation will match the amount. Thus far, approximately $1,100 has been raised.

If you can't make it to the Critical Mass ride, there are still plenty of ways to make a donation.
